WWII History Tour

A truly rare opportunity to discover and reimagine the historic site of Woolenook Wood Camp on the Murray River above Renmark. The famous Loveday Internment Camp provided internees to the woodcutting camps.

Your guide drives you upriver in a motorboat and conducts a guided walking tour where Japanese Internees camped in a barbed-wire compound and felled gumtrees for the WWII war effort.

Leaving by motorboat from the convenient waterfront property, you will travel upriver through stunning scenery to the site of a woodcutters camp worked by Japanese internees during WWII.

On arrival, you will disembark and commence a guided tour of the site, evoking the hardships and small joys of yesteryear.

Then, return back to base taking morning tea in the boat, motoring through world-recognised wetlands that features over 100 species of birds, emus that swim across the river, kangaroos and the occasional goanna or koala. A photographer’s delight!

This is a boutique tour for 2-4 people.
